Hey,
I really love the feel of ASOP roms but when ever I flash one, deck cm7 or other asop roms my 3g speeds slow down to a crawl and after a few days I cant even get my web pages to load. Does anyone know what might be causing this? Sense roms work just fine its just those ASOP that my phone doesnt like.
Thanks in advance
I'm on my evo so its a little harder for me to shoot you a link but if you Google "evo 4g aosp slow 3g xda" you should find a thread from a while back that talked about it. I'm not 100% sure but I believe there was a sollution. If you can't find it pm me
Also are your radios up to date? That could be a cause. New radios were release a day or 2 ago. Just wait for calkulin to make a flashable zip and flash it in amon. Also NEVER PULL YOUR BATTERY DURING A RADIO UPDATE you get paper weights

Probably 10 pages back, captain_throwback made a PC36IMG with the radio and PRI to flash; the NV and wimax didn't change. I flashed it the day before yesterday and all good.
Thanks guys I found that xda link and am looking through it now, Il let you know what I find.
I am flashing the latest version of the roms, so that should include the latest radios right?
I'm in the same boat as you. 3g is slow and I only have around 2 bars. It says my radio is up to date(on Decks Rom) so I didn't flash. Maybe ill just wait for the new updates.

Thanks for these links, I am getting horrible 3G speeds as well. These links only seem to be solutions for Sense based ROMs and they say switching to a AOSP ROM may loose these settings. I had Sprint refresh my data signal while I was on AOSP and my speeds got amazingly fast with just one bar but after a few hours the dropped to a crawl. I have no idea what's going on or why this is happening and it's very frustrating.
I am going to flash MikG and see how this helps but I hate Sense ROMs because of the lack of SBC and the battery life is horrible in Sense.
Sorry I didnt get to check last night, those fixes do work but my 3g was still dead, what I had to end up doing was flashing a new radio and installing it, then i had to go in my SENSE rom to system updates and update my profile and then I flashed an ASOP rom and life was good!
I'd provide a link, but when I searched for it, it was like the first link. Google 3g turbocharger. It'll take you to a thread on here that's about V6 supercharger. Go down to download section and it'll be there. Try all 4 options, for me, #1, fast, is the fastest, but it varies

Sigh...
I was asking for the link to the specific radios to flash. The one solution is only for Sense ROMS and this is an AOSP thread. Also, I've tried 3G turbo charger and it doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference. I also asking for a link to the specific radios because I have a wakelock and have read that flashing a certain set will fix it. So I figured I might be able to fix both problems if someone would kindly link to the specific post with the specific radios.

Again, not at my computer ATM to provide links, but searching "Evo 4g radio update" and within the first 5 links is calkulins (typo? Sorry) page with all current radios.
As for turbocharger you have to try all the settings. Some work better than others and it does depend on phone/ROM setup.
Again sorry for not being able to provide links atm

Sorry for the miscommunication, I thought you meant Google. Either way I was unable to find the post that suggest the different radio/NV/PRI combos that would supposedly fixed the issue. I updated to the latest through bootloader and recovery and see no difference in speed or the wakelock issue.
I have the most recent radios from the newest ota update in my sig. I myself have been using them and have had no issues. But, the radios don't affect wifi or 3g speed. Just updates to newer towers and relay points. I recommend wiping cache and dalvik twice. Once before, and once after flashing.
To note, I've heard a lot of people saying to flash to a sense ROM and update PRL and Profile, but I myself never have and haven't noticed anything, but maybe that's why? Idk.... I'll try in a few days and get back to you.
Using the latest rom from Task650 2013.02.23 I'm not able to connect to some secure sites. One example is https://stripe.com/ but there are plenty of others, but no names off the top of my head (just want to point out it's not unique to Stripe, happens with about 1 in 4 sites I've tried to use.) I ran into this quirk with older versions of this rom as well. Happen on a clean install, both stock browser and Chrome.
I'd potentially post in the development thread but where I'm a newbie it won't let me, sorry about that!
Any tips on how I might resolve this would be greatly appreciated. Or if you know where I might look to find a more verbose error log, that would be pretty awesome as well.
Thanks!
Edit: can't explain what happened, but after logging in to a Google Account on the device and installing a handful of apps/updates everything works as expected. Case closed, for now. If I figure out what happened I'll come back to post about it for others who might run into it.

I'm able to get to the above website, as well as all the SSL sites I visit, credit cards, bank, mint, credit scores, ect.. without fail. I'm also on the 2/23 build from task. when flashing sometimes things can happen like this, even on a clean flash.
You may have to Odin back to stock to do a complete fresh reinstall of tasks ROM.
unrelated, I had to do so with a recent LTE issue that is now fixed.

Thanks for the reply RPelham!
I have jumped back to older versions of the rom but it still happens. I wipe caches, format /system and proceed with a clean install each time. The checksum matches on all files used so I'm relatively sure I'm downloading what's expected.
Your comment about LTE perks my curiosity. Although not on LTE myself, now that I'm home I've I connected to wifi and this issue isn't presenting. The only time I run into problems is when trying to connect to secure sites over cellular data.
My data plan isn't limited or being misused so I don't suspect they've throttled the connection. Not lucky enough to be on any unlimited data plan and no high usage coming from me. No high connection counts... really nothing all that notable. E-mails and calendar sync mostly.
Does Bell muck up HTTPS traffic? I would call them up but I feel tier 1 technical support isn't going to be much help until I narrow it down more.

Search for stock firmware in the Android development section. Your bell version will be listed with the others. You'll need odin installed on your pc.

I loaded the stock rom and HTTPS sites works as expected. Rooted again, and installed the latest from Task (2013.02.26) and back to having these connection issues. Going to go post on the development thread, but any tips or ideas more than welcome! Thanks fellas

Well he was quick to reply and inform me my carrier is unsupported. Yeesh, like... really quick. You would think he lives here on xda. That aside I decided to try the slim rom and I hit the same issue. So it's not unique to task. However, I'm completely stumped at this point. It would be sweet if the browser would give a better error message! Keeping my eyes peeled for others with the same issue and possible solutions, but thanks again for the advice so far!
I feel like a nuisance but I post everywhere and I can't seem to get an answer from any community or blog, as in an answer, I mean response haha.
Background, on T-mobile rooted and running PACMan ROM 20.0.1
1. I can't get my Wifi tether to work for free? Everyone says after rooting it should tether for free and not get the message, doesn't seem to work? Have the work-around by using the "Agent Switcher" on Google Chrome, but would still like to know why it won't work.
2. My phone's been stuck on 3G for a very long time. Possibly after I rooted and flashed the ROM, don't remember exactly but I haven't seen the H or 4G in over a month.
3. Super crappy battery life. If I leave my tether on for an hour. I lose 20%+ of my battery(tested it). Everyone's battery seems to get better after the rooting and such.
I try to follow all these steps on the forum and none of them work/remedy my solutions.

1. Read more, I'm not positive on this but I think no matter what, they will eventually stop it. Unless you have paid for it, so pay for it I guess.
2. Flash latest modem, it will let h+ icon happen when cell data is requested. Been covered soooo many times.
3. Depends on what you do, how you use you're phone... my battery is always better on touchwiz ROMs but very good still on aosp style ROMs. Play with kernels and mess with settings to find what your phone likes. Not what mine likes what yours likes.

Before you even bother with that, when you're actually using your data i.e. doing the speedtest or stalking that girl on FB, does it switch from 3G to H? Because, rooted ROMs will show 3G until there is enough demand for it to switch to 4G speeds.

Ermm, is there a way I could test that? What's enough of a demand that would need the H? I haven't seen it whenever I stream stuff or anything like that.

No, its still 3G uptop.
Test different modems/radios. The radios determine how your data works and testing different ones could fix your issue and also give different download/upload speeds. Just test each one and see which one works best for you Be sure to flash radios intended only for the T999. Otherwise, you will hard brick your phone.

What's your baseband? I can't get anything but G unless I'm on LJA
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Guys,
This might be a longshot, but I'm hoping someone might be able to give some advice.
I have the Epic 4G tough and had it flashed over to straight talk. At first it worked good(since Dec), but the 3G data speeds were never really there. Was getting a max of around 200-250k/sec, but things were pretty solid. Others around here with ST and flashed ST phones have been able to get 1.5+ Mb/sec speeds.
Did have a problem with the signal just disappearing and then coming back a few seconds later, even while in an area where I had 4+ bars. Just Poof, gone and then it would come back.
The phone did an OTA update a month or so ago and things were still working the same. I think a couple of ther updates might have happened in the past week because I heard my phone reboot a couple of times for no reason that I can find.
For about the past week though things have went all to crap on it.When 3G does connect I'm luckt to get 16k/sec. Still works great over wifi.
Here is my baseband version:
S710.10 S.FL24
Android version 4.04.
Does anyone have any advice that might help me out?
Thanks in advance.
I'm assuming that since you flashed over to ST that you are rooted? If so, have you updated your modem, prl, profile? There is also a thread on here where you can change your 3g settings using your MSL code, that may help you. From what I've read, sometimes OTA will jack with the 3g signal. Try those things and see if that held. You may have to flash different modems depending on where you live to find the best one. You're running ICS, I'd start in rwilco12's repository and flash the latest ICS modem, update prl and profile, and see if that helps. Good luck! Hope it works out

Unfortunately I had the phone remotely flashed by flashedphones.net and it isn't rooted.
It does have the newest ST PRL on it.
Could you possibly post a link for the MSL thread?
Looking over the repository and reading the thread about it, I see mention that there are ODIN 1 click modem files and someone mentioned that these will root the phone as well. Does anyone know if this is correct? If so that would be a great added bonus for me.
I think I can still flash a modem to the phone through ODIN even if it is not rooted?
Thanks!
Yes, you should be able to flash a modem without rooting using odin. If you can boot into download mode, Odin should flash just fine. However, in order to change 3g settings, you need to be rooted. You have to use terminal emulator(on the linked guide, there may be other ways) which requires rooting to have full control.

First thing you'll want to look for is making a nandroid backup. The saying goes "if flashing breaks it, a backup should restore it".
You'll specifically want to look for recording your mms/mmsc/apn settings. Basically anything carrier specific settings that you can edit via the ##data# menu. Make sure you write them down and that way you won't have to hunt for them.
You'll need to know what your msl is as well. There are threads to help you get that.
When it comes to flashed over carrier devices, mms usually breaks and has to be edited for settings.
Check out threads that deal with, for example, Boost flashes and check their issues and expect the same to happen and you'll need to fix.

Grrr,Pancho you're too da*n fast for me! I actually knew the answer to that one. Throw a brother a bone will ya? Ha. On a serious note, Pancho is right. If you don't know what nandroid is, you're not ready to root. But once you do, you'll have the ability to flash a custom recovery that basically allows you to make a mirror copy of the current ROM you have. That way, if you mess things up, you can always reflash the custom recovery cwm, restore the ROM, and start over. Read, read, read. The folks here have encountered and answered about every type of issue.

They want me to send it in to them so they can "fix" it.

Luckily this local guy is pretty good. I'm pretty sure he will let me watch so I might learn some things. Not interested in doint other peoples phones, but would like to learn so I can do my own stuff.
As far as flashing ROM's/ modems I'm comfortable with that. Just need more experience with the changing over to other services on them.
But hey, at least I have a pretty decent JB rooted rom on it now.
Has anyone played around with the radios and seen which ones seem to be pretty good in weak signal areas?

That you do(have a good jb rom, if you have jellyverse that is ). I'm using GB27 modem on mine. Works fine, but no modem I have will get goods signal in my office. Awesome that you'll get to watch live and in color. Let me know how it goes and if you need anything else. I may not know the answer, but can certainly find it or reach out to someone who does know. Enjoy your weekend

Hey whats up everyone. After doing some research, and a gusty move, I read what people had to say in the link below:
Thanks goes to the thread of the GT-I9505 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026
This link has the steps to install the S4 Google Edition (Full system Dump) to our T-Mo S4's.
It's a pretty small file, and as always, create a backup before you install. I wiped my themed stock rom, then flashed the GE sys dump.
I've confirmed the following:
* Camera works / Video
* LTE works
* Phone calls work
* NFC works
* SMS / MMS works
* Wi-Fi does NOT work
There's a couple of other tests that I didn't run, but I'm still getting a feel for this as I write this.
Any questions should be directed to the link above, not here. But i'm sure by grabbing that system dump, that we can work out the Wi-Fi issue, or leave it to our developers hands. Thanks everyone!

Did you try any of the WiFi fixes in the dump thread in the international forum?

Nope. Didn't get that far. I've trialed an error'd everything myself. I'll continue reading, but thought it'd be nice to have this for our community (if it's not already psoted).

Well thanks for the contribution. I've been downloading for a while now, but my internet connection is so slow! Eh, I guess it gives me time to read. I've been through that thread twice already to see if I've missed anything. :\
Which kernel did you use?

Don't mention it - and be patient. It took about 5 mins on LTE to download for me in NYC. Let me know what you think or any findings you come across.

It seems like many are having luck with the Faux Kernel found here

Faux Kernel didn't do anything for the WiFi; at least not the one I used. I seem to have trouble downloading one that won't throw an error or show up as an invalid zip...
I believe I'm going to give this a few days before trying the Google experience.
Can't wait to get home and look more into this...tell us how it goes! Have you seen any extra features in there cause i mean it is going through samsung
Also, what kernel you ran with it? and your link point to a forum not specific thread
Confirmed working on T-Mobile variant. Flashing rom is all thats needed. Wifi is working
Google Edition Rom

...and there you have it. Safe to say it's a fully working GE rom? Personally, I think so. All that's left is to see how the battery life turns out to be like compared to stock TW.

Haha I did it while I was at work, too. No special kernels needed. Just as C.Sweat said, just download, backup, wipe, and flash.
My issue was that I downloaded the system dump from a different source link, thus im sure there was something corrupt or not compatible with the Wi-fi in that specific sys. dump. I'm not even going to do a logcat or any of that, especially if there's already a fully functional dump of the GE.
For those who want to install the Google Edition, please go here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxsSDB2hKUxgZDFoR0xNdldLTW8/edit?usp=sharing
Maybe someone can dive into the rom and pull the GE photosphere camera and port it into the stock TW rom, instead of having to find working patches and stuff. I doubt it'll port over (maybe the gallery will) straight out of the sys. dump, but for those who wanna try - have at it .
Also, another thing to note is that Google Wallet fully works (of course without XPosures' patching), and we're not given that "It's not available for your provider" nonsense.
This rom = So much win!

Not exactly sure what fixed the wifi issues. I was a bit late to the conversation. It happened somewhere around here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026&page=14

Very safe to say
Any idea why wifi did not work at first?
After installing the full system dump from GPe to TMo hardware... are there any software differences that remain between the devices? Kernel, etc? Or are they truly 100% identical? Thanks!
Haven't tried yet, but am anxious.
Anyone check NFC, IR Blaster yet?
I was just over at the AT&T GS4 forum and they are talking about some partition difference.
If that's the case, then some GBs of space will be wasted
Is there something like that on the T Mobile version too ?

Someone posted a recovery flashable ZIP in the I9505 forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340869
Is the kernel compatible OTB for M919 ?
NM: Just flashed it. Worked like a charm! Thank you to everyone from the guy/gal who provided the dump to all the people who uploaded to various sites. Oh and big thanks to Tmobile for keep note 2 and s4 similar to international variant.
